When the sun shines brightly, it is dark on the display of the PEN. A reasonable picture composition requires then, autofocus or not, the view through a conventional viewfinder. The represents the plug-VF-2, but with all the refinements and portions of the display. For my taste, would have 600 pixels in the remarkable resolution of 800 x the viewfinder may be a little bigger, but then the viewfinder would have been too clunky. Very relief is the view through the viewfinder even when using third-party lenses that need to be focused manually. When Kamer attitude required for the display simultaneously rotating the focus ring of such a lens is a nail-biter that hardly leads to sharp images. With viewfinder visor and cheek pressure It's contrast problems like the old days. All in all, indispensable. Rather let an interchangeable lens to house as the VF-2, which still can cheat in the camera bag in limited space. The only real gripe, which leads me to a star devaluation: the disproportionately high price - but that's at Olympus attachments unfortunately nothing new.
